Trinsac asked me to post some update here. I was allowed to join the meeting last night in the body of a stranger. So here's the news:

Scarst has transferred guild leadership, since he is leaving UO for an undetermined amount of time.

Trinsac is now leader and Captain of the United Pirates. Trinsac will still be busy until the end of June, then he will be available. We all agreed that Trinsac is an old wasted notorious stinkin' pirate scum, and thus...

Hi everyone. I had a character who was a member for a short time in the United Pirates. For a longer time, though, I had a character in a neighboring guild, ViV (Virtue Village).

I believe a number of people had characters in both guilds. I was able to find the webpage for United Pirates as well as this forum. But I was curious if anyone kept tabs with anyone from ViV or if anyone knew of where there might be info or an old web page of theirs hiding. No...

I heard that a couple o' pirates are found on the high seas, and since we do not want competitors we should hunt them down. My goal is to gather the rewards for an Orcish Galleon, which can be gotten as a reward from turning in those pirate captains. The prerequisite to defeat the pirates are cannons, since you have to fire them to make the enemy ship immobile before boarding.
